Hyde-Smith Holds Lead On Espy

Reports into Hyde-Smith's past have also revealed a photo of her wearing a Confederate military-style hat in 2014. In the heavily Republican state, Hyde-Smith had always been seen as the prohibitive favorite in the race.

Hyde-Smith, who will face Black Democratic candidate Mike Espy in a runoff election Tuesday, has been under fire since she was caught at a November 2 campaign event telling a supporter that she would "be on the front row" of a "public hanging" if he invited her. There's typically a large decrease in ballots cast between the first election and a runoff.

"We need to come out tomorrow in such numbers, such strength, marching to the polls like it's a holiday", he said. Hyde-Smith apologized for the "hanging" comments during a debate earlier this week and dubbed the voting suppression comments a "joke".
